Begin with Amuse-Bouche, a platter of appetizers combining Crispy Scallop and Herbs, Smoked Celeriac Hen Egg, Shrimp with Tomato and Watermelon, Beetroot Tarelette. Paired with San Feletto Prosecco Brut.

dehydrated scallop

Love the thin, crispy dehydrated scallop that carries pleasing sweetness and umami depth, tinged with subtle herbs aroma. Shrimp with Tomato and Watermelon is interesting too, unexpected combination but turned out so good. Didn’t know that shrimp can actually goes well with watermelon.

Fresh Oyster from France, sit on top a bed of frothy cauliflower espuma. Flavours further enhanced in a premium way, having French caviar garnished over. Enjoy in one mouthful. Lovely.

Scallop Ceviche, fresh and plump with hints of citrusy. Apple strips add refreshing and crisp texture, plus more flavours derived from ginger, fresh chilli and cilantro.

Arroz Verde – Arborio rice cooked in spinach puree. Love the carabinero shrimp that denotes a crispy, contrasting texture in between this rich and creamy staple.

Paper-thin soy milk skin laid over the plate, topped with a large, bouncy shrimp, dill sauce, caramelized onion, red and white pickles. A main course that has more complicated flavours come together but rest assured, amazing in taste! Paired with Vina Muriel Reserva Blanco Viura.

Japanese orange sea bream pan-seared till crispy at the edges, locking in moist and juiciness within. Decorated with calamari, vegetables, and zucchini blossom. Complete with chef’s secret sauce, lightly dressed over. Personally love the zucchini blossom. And it is stuffed with very nice fish paste-based filling!

Final course. Pandan Financier as dessert, our favourite among all. Loud applause to Chef Francisco on the extra efforts in incorporating famous local flavour – pandan in his homemade ice cream, topped it over a cake made from almond, sided with white chocolate foam, and the best part – Late Harvest infused jelly! Each ingredient match really well to one another, be it jelly with ice cream, chocolate with ice cream or pickles with jelly!
